Woman's Suffrage Convention tomorrow
on "Tho Conditions of Liberty" May we
suggest that one OF these conditions lie single

Oh, woman's suffrage women,
Your views we love to quote
But who will rock the cradle

THE CABINET BABY.
There's baby up at Whitney's,
And the Secretary's glad
He is waiting, only waiting,
Just to hear II call him dad.
There's a charm about baby,
Which is utterly unknown
To every living person
Til he has one OF his own.
Then he swears by all that's holy,
With a crazy sort Of mirth,
That this individual baby
Is the prettiest one on earth.
It's the same II there's dozen,
With twin or so beside,
For by multiplying babies,
He but multiplles his pride.
Now, hurrah for Billie whitney!
And hurrah for Billle's kid
And may some folks we know OF
Do as well as Billie did

the chief were in the office alone, and Sam
was wrestling with nm account which per-

Finally he became so provoked that he
slapped the ledger shut and vindlctively
muttered "Damn the thing" The chief
was so shocked at first as to be speechess,
and he gazed at Sam in horror. Then he
spoke:

"shut the office door and lock It,"
Sam obeyed, and returned to his desk,
wondering what was going to happen.

was resumed.

On to the Pacific.

o.. Louis, July pa local paper says:
The Chicago & Rock Island railway recently
sent surveying party through the noun
tains of Nevada and California for the pur-
pose of discovering practicable route be-
tween the Central Pacific and the Atlantic &
Pacific. This party returned short time
ago and report route beginning some dis
lance from Fort Wingate, N. NJ, crossing
the Colorado river above the Grand Canon,
passing through Phoebe, Tiobe and Owens
counties, and crossing the Sierras through
Kinds Pass, emerging near Lake Calf, and
following the San Joachim valley to the
coast. The line lies through low pass,
where little grading will be necessary.
Should this route be adopted the great min
erals of Phoebe county will be rendered
available. The mining camps of this region
are full of ore, worth from $40 to $50 ton,
but now almost worthless, because of the
heavy cost of transportation.

CHICAGO ENTERPRISES.

A Company Incorporated to build a System
of Underground Railways Similar to
Those of London and Paris.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Articles of incorpora-
ton were fled to-day in Springfield of the
Metropolitan Railway company, with cap
ital stock of $3,OOO,OOO. It is proposed te
construct said railroad from some point or
points in the city of Chicago to nearly all
townships in Cook county and
connect the lines SO as to
make system of belt railroads
connecting all points. The incorporators
are Chicago men. Henry w. Deman, q
well known attorney, is one of the most &C
tive movers in the new enterprise. He said
this afternoon that the system is to be
an underground railway for rapid
transit in the city and suburbs. Its
lines might be operated by steam, compress
ed air, electricity or other suitable power. It
is designed to lay tunnel thirty-five feet
under the streets, reaching all quarters of
the city. The lines on the principal streets
would comprise four tunnels, two each for
trains meeting in different directions, and
approached by staircases from street cor
ners at intervals of about half mile The
system will be similar in design to the under.
ground railways of Paris and London.

The Bolivia Insurrectfon.

New YORK, July 25.-"We have previously
reported" says a late number of the Panama
Star and Herald, shat packet of soldi ers
sent to the BENZ province of Bolivia by La
Paz authorities had been cut off by Indians,
and now some further particulars are to
hand. The soldiers had packed their rifles
in a cart drawn by Indians. They were sud-
denly attacked and all were killed, with the
exception of those who succeeded in
reaching 3 small chapel. Here
they defended themselves for three
days, and finally when their ammunition was
exhausted, endeavored to escape during the
night but were overtaken, dubbed to death
and then quartered. On receiving particu-
lars of this slaughter the project sent seven
missionaries to the Indians to endeavor to
come to terms. OF these seven, two Joined
them, four were allowed to return after
they had sworn to assist the
insurrectionary cause, whilst the seventh
was barbarously murdered. One leg was
tied to the tail of horse and the
other leg to the tail of another and the horses
were fogged until they started in opposite
directions, literally tearing the man in half.
This cruelty was practiced on him
because he endeavored to persuade
the Indians to become peaceable and
told them they had no chance
against the we'll armed whites. Subsequent
ly the Indians burned down some valuable
plantations, captured some cattle and over
turned number of launches with people
and merchandise IN them. The project of
BENZ has collected about $50 men intends at
lacking them.

TRAGIC DEATHS.

Two Well-KnOwn New Workers Killed by
Lightning While Fishing On the Jersey
Coast.
NEW YORK, July 23-The tragic death by
lightning of Martin Dixon, ice cream man
ufacturer, and John A. Ryan, in Princes
bury yesterday. created great excitement In
New York and vicinity, where Dixon Shame
was known to everyone. At last reports Dix
on's body had not been found. There were
three in the party. Dixon and Ryan were In
one small boat and the third man, named
Smith, in another. They were fishing about
two miles from Staten Island. Suddenly q
squall arose, followed by rain and lightning.
Smith says: Suddenly felt as If had
had heavy blow on the head and that is the
Last knew for long time. I heard no
thunder and saw no lightning. When I
came to / was lying on the bottom of the

the other boat. Then saw it was filed

seen and Ryan was hanging out OF the
boat into the water. He was nearly stripped
and he hung only by remnant of his trous-
ers which had caught in some way on the
boat It rained SO hard could only see

The English Grain Trade.

LONDON, July 25.-The Mark Lane Er-
press, in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says: The continued drought
is maturing wheat rapidly. A part of the
southern crop is already cut. If the weather
drawn on the market and prices
will decline to zero. On the other hand if
rain sets in grain will have chance of be-
ing converted into pigs feed. This will re-
suit in a squirt of trade but there is wheat
enough in the world to again bring the mar
ket to the present level. The English
wheat grower stands irrevocably ruined,
whether his wheat goes straight to the mar
ket or to the rats. The sales of English
wheat during the past week were "a, 199quar-
tiers, at 34s Sd, against 81 ,295 quarters at Bis
Sd during the corresponding week last year.
The trade in foreign wheat is on the small
est possible scale, and prices are in the buy
er's favor.

A Queer Case of Trance.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 23.-The daugh-
ter of Captain of Police W. R. Thomas. of
Oakland, presents a peculiarly interesting
case to medical men. She is given to catal-
optic frances, in which she remains for
weeks without regaining consciousness. At
one time she slept five weeks, and at another
six. She is now suffering from one of the
attacks. Her body is rigid and all appear
ance of life has departed. It
is over five weeks since she went into
the trance, and at no time since
has she recovered consciousness for more
than an hour. For more than four weeks
she slept without once waking, but now she
wakens once every twenty hours and re-
mains awake for few minutes. She takes
no nourishment all this time, but does not
lose flesh or strength; in fact, during a six
weeks trance, though taking no food, she
gained between four and five pounds in
weight. At times she is sensible of what is
going on around her, but she is incapable of
indicating the fact. Medical skill has ex-
hausted itself in the endeavor to effect
cure, but the frances seem to be beyond the
skill of the physicians.

A Fearful Accident.

GAYLORD, RAM, July 23.-Last evening
Ben Hope, farmer living one mile north OF
Gaylord, came in from the field from work,
bringing his loaded shotgun. He set the
gun down in the corner of the room and
went out to do chores. Thereupon
one of the small children proceeded
to investigate the gun, with the following
result: The mother was sitting III the mid
die of the room with her back to the child,
with three other children around her and be-
yond her. The gun went off, shooting the
mother in the left arm and below
the shoulder, breaking the bone and
tearing about one third of the flesh
away. One child about 3 years old received
about twenty-five shot III the face and neck,
and another about IL years old received
about fifteen shot in the face and neck, and
the oldest daughter receiy ed five in her neck
and head. At this time it is believed all will
recover, but an operation will be performed
on the mother.

CONTEST OVER AN ESTATE.
A delicate QUESTION r,r.,,v s...,.,

A Delicate Question Finally Settled.
GOLDEN, COL, July ga curious contest
between heirs for the possession of a valu-
able estate was concluded here to-day. In
November, 1885, Robert Standering and his
wife, an aged couple, were murdered in
their cabin near Pine Grove, Col. Their
bodies were not found until three days
afterward, and who committed the horrible
deed has since been one of the great crimi-
nal mysteries of the state. They had no
children and left an estate, consisting
of cattle and ranches, to the estimated
value of $751; 900. The relatives of the MUIR
dered man claimed the estate, and the rela-
their claim. The question of right rested
on one point, and that was q peculiar one.
1t was as 10 which one of the murdered
couple was killed first. If Standering was
first to die, then the property would belong
to his wife, but If she was the first to sue
cumb, then the heirs of the old man Stan
dering were just in their claims. The case
was taken to court to settle. It progressed
three days, and to-day the jury brought in q
verdict that Mr.. Standering died first, and
therefore the property reverted to Mrs.
Standering, and the claims of her relatives
are sustained.
The circumstances surrounding the bodies
OF the two victims, and the probabilities
connected with the attack on the couple and
the killing, were all there to guide the jury
in determining which died first. The body
of Mrs. Standering was found in bed,
she having evidently retired. Mr.. SANDER
ing was found on the floor partially un-
dressed, and it was supposed that he was
preparing to retire when he was shot down
by his murderer. The theory is that when
Mrs. Standering saw her husband killed, she
then shot down. The murderers then ran
sacked the house for money, which was sup
posed to be hid. At the time of the murder
suspicious were fastened upon certain
parties, and one man (Carruthers,) was ar
suspicious have been aroused, and the trial
here brought out some circumstantial evil
dence relating to certain party to whom
some suspicious pointed.
